Thought provoking, wide variety of topics

The titles don't even hint at the surprising (sometimes jarring) facets of human nature and behavior that end up being revealed and discussed, largely due to Dave's unabashed questioning. He has a way of exploring a topic that often makes me (and sometimes even his guest) pause and think from a different perspective. He doesn't hesitate to interject his own opinion, which may not be aligned with his guest's, challenging speakers to defend their stance. Significantly, he usually appears willing to consider—maybe even accept—a rational contrary argument, something that few journalists do these days.
